I once asked a leading web3 artist how to price my nfts. I was advised to raise the price by 50% with each successful sale. The artist was interested in minting my work but suggested I adjust the price first…to 1/8th of the asking. 🤷🏽

Moral of the story is to do whatever you want. Collectors will pay the price THEY want to pay or they won’t buy. Artists just need to manage expectations by setting a price they want. When the 2 meet, a sale can happen.

I’m glad I learned that early on. It made me price my work in a way that feels right for me. It instilled a bit of confidence in me that was lacking due to my inexperience with web3.

A few years ago, I interviewed my friend @andrew3sixteen, who runs one of my favorite denim brands, 3sixteen. I really like how he combines workwear in a way that feels relatable. For the feature, he wore this tremendous Schott B-3 sheepskin jacket. 🧵

The B-3 is a thick and heavy sheepskin jacket originally designed to protect US pilots. I think it looks great, but it can be very much of a statement piece in civilian life. Alternatively, there's the B-6, which saw service from 1939 to 1943.

The B-6 was designed to fill the space between the lighter A-2 and the heavier B-3. Made with a smaller wool pile and shorter body length, it was primarily worn by ground crew members and bomber crewmen who were less exposed to the elements.

A thread exploring social housing applicants by broad nationality across county and city council areas using data from the Housing Agency.

First up: Raw numbers showing social housing applicants by nationality for each council area.

Now, same data but represented as a % of the total applications for the respective council areas.

Some maps showing the % for each non-Irish group.

Project Mariner — much like its closest kin, Claude with computer use — look, to me, fundamentally regressive and uninspiring. Not only I don't want to watch an agent use my computer (duh); I don't want it to complete tasks that way at all.

I get that most of the modern world relies on app/web-based UXs, and this is a workaround. But the whole point of AI is not automation of current workflows: it's enabling paths to the desired solution that unlock new, faster, and more powerful ways to do the thing.

We already have that with search. If all we had was an agent that opens up a tab and performs a search engine query action, that'd be mostly pointless (even if it was super fast). No: you want something like Perplexity, that does the same thing but on the AI plane.

@trevor4875 @dbongino @dbongino watched your show like I do after work today. I believe this may have come out after your @rumblevideo show. I'm not sure of the timing.

@trevor4875 @dbongino @rumblevideo Here's the rest of the clip.

@trevor4875 @dbongino @rumblevideo Sure enough, the @DeptofDefense is dismissing @Congressman_JVD comments!

🧵A basic summary of this new lipidomics paper linking colon cancer to an imbalance between pro-inflammatory & pro-resolving processes, with a potential connection to seed oils.

More details in an upcoming podcast...

The paper references Virchow, who originally proposed that cancer represents a chronically inflamed, poorly healing wound.

🤔

2/

In the body, there is always some mixture of pro-inflammatory signals and inflammation-resolving signals.

Many of these signals are lipid-based molecules derived from fatty acids.

Examples of pro-inflammatory molecules include prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Okay. I am reviewing the Legislature's proposed bill on ballot design, and it is not only deeply problematic, but almost certainly unlawful. Follow along here. njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/20…

First, the bill prohibits bracketing among candidates. It expressly says so! And then it completely undermines that by allowing candidates running for the same office (like the Assembly) to be treated as ONE candidate and be matched up together.

Second, it prohibits the use of a slogan that refers to the name of a political party if you don't have the county party's endorsement. So if you're not backed by the county, your slogan can't be DEMOCRATS FOR A NEW FUTURE or whatever. You can't refer to the party at all.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Hidden Pfizer Report Shows Heart Conditions Getting WORSE Over Time

Nick Hunt has uncovered what regulators are desperate to hide—and the results are jaw-dropping.

Compared to the unvaccinated, vaxxed individuals face:

• A 23% higher risk of acute cardiovascular injury, with the gap worsening over time.

• A 27% higher risk of arrhythmia.

• A 2% higher risk of heart failure, though not yet statistically significant.

• A 30% higher risk of stress cardiomyopathy.

• A 40% higher risk of coronary artery disease, with risks increasing over time.

• A 130% higher risk of myocarditis (within 21 days).

With results like this, it’s no wonder they’re desperately trying to keep this information hidden from the public.

NEW: Russian forces continue to make tactical gains south of Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast as they attack into Ukrainian weak points and attempt to conduct a turning maneuver to directly assault Pokrovsk from the south.🧵(1/X)

2/ Russian forces have advanced in western Novyi Trud and along the E50 highway south of Dachenske, narrowing the small pocket west of the E50 highway and south of the Novyi Trud-Dachenske line. This advance places Russian forces about 6km south of Pokrovsk.

3/ Russian forces will likely continue efforts to close the pocket between Novyi Trud and Dachenske in the coming days, as doing so will provide them a stronger position from which to assault Shevchenko (just northwest of Novyi Trud and southwest of Pokrovsk).

What does Doggie (“DOGE”) do? Maybe think of it this way: you have to watch a couple of precocious toddlers for the day. They need activities, but you don’t want them near stoves, cars, electrical equipment, or anything operational.

So you put them in a playpen with lots of shiny, squeaky toys and a few playmates to keep them occupied. That’s what Doggie does. It keeps a couple of overactive billionaires occupied, far away from any decisions.

Doggie is nowhere near any executive, administrative, bureaucratic, or legislative decision-making. The billionaires can play in the Doggie-pen to their hearts’ content.

A message to the Syrian people: After the Houthis entered the capital, Sana'a, in 2014, all their opponents feared retribution. However, they did not take revenge on anyone, not even on the former president who waged six wars against them, nor on the officers who fought them, /1
